[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've bought several bike helmets, and this is my co-favorite. First reason, it was ranked among the safest helmets in the Virginia Tech study, which seems to be the most carefully designed and executed test of bike helmets I've seen. Second, it is one of a very few I've found with a visor long enough to offer some protection against being blinded by the sun in the late afternoon hours when I prefer to ride.

The orange is really bright and is a more effective high-viz color than the yellow-green standard in warm weather because it's a better contrast with the lush greenery in my riding environment. Like most helmets, it's rather minimally padded, and I had to stick on a couple of small pads to cover the plastic rivets that anchor the MIPS liner, since they created pressure points against my buzz cut head. I'll probably add some padding in a couple other places, but other than that, I'm satisfied with the helmet.
